8 Movies Based on Books Worth Watching from Sept - Dec 2014 (and 9 I'm Happy to Miss)

It takes a lot to get me into a movie theater. The expense combined with the smell and relentless chomping of popcorn are big turnoffs, but maybe two or three times a year I'll make a trip to the big screen. This Fall there are eight films that I'm keeping an eye on - a couple that I'll definitely leave the house for, the remainder I'll wait for on Netflix, or maybe spring for on pay-per-view - or, better still, put myself on the waitlist at our local library which carries a veritable cornucopia of film delights.

If you don't share my tastes or you just love, love, love the movies and like to know about everything new - keep reading to the end for an additional 9 movies based on books which hold less appeal for me but maybe just up your alley!

Thanks for the movie updates. With all the chaos going on in the world now why would anyone want to see more chaos in the movie theater. Why aren't they producing some good comedies to take our mind off of the everyday world news?

Hi Edie, I hear you! There is one comedy in the list above - Love Rosie - but that does seem to be about it, putting aside the family films. But there are a few that offer distraction from the world, I think, e.g. get lost in the world of Middle Earth in The Hobbit in the knowledge that good will overcome evil, or be reminded of a man who rose above all that was thrown at him in Unbroken. Or what about the personal quest offered in Wild?
